OnePlus 5T: One Tough Cookie

The OnePlus 5T will be coming in as an upgraded version of the OnePlus 5 and while most people liked the fact that the OnePlus 5T will be coming with a better and bigger display, some people were anxious that the larger device won't be as tough as the OnePlus 5.

OnePlus 5T is even not available yet in most of the countries but the developers are giving it its first update. The phone is available in two different variants 6GB RAM and 64GB Storage Memory and 8GB RAM and 128GB of Storage Memory. The design and polish of 5T makes it look like the refined version of the OnePlus 5. Apparently, the phone will soon be phased out in the market, just like it happened with OnePlus 3T following the release of the 5.

The remaining OnePlus 5 stocks will likely be sold out before the end of the year, after which the smartphone will be discontinued. The company has launched more than 2 flagship smartphone in a time span of 6 months. During a recent Ask Me Anything session on OnePlus forums, OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei confirmed that the OnePlus 5 smartphone will not be receiving Face Unlock feature.

Interestingly, the company has made the OnePlus 5T smartphone available in nearly all the regions through its 64GB variant. For the most part, we agree that the low-light sensor is more useful than a telephoto lens, but we did miss the ability to frame some shots better. Recollecting some key specifications, the device features a 6.01-inch Full Optic AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The OnePlus 5T also comes with the Dash Charge feature and a headphone jack.

Google Assistant Can Now Act as an Intercom
Earlier this month, Google rolled out an update for Assistant that now allows it to identify songs playing around you. So, you "just say "Ok Google, broadcast it's dinner time" and a dinner bell will ring on all your Google Homes ".

It will be interesting to see the user's response for OnePlus 5T which comes with a price tag of $499. The sensors in the phone yet remain the same as in OnePlus 5, and the new lens has an aperture of f/1.7 allowing plenty of light to get captured on clicking photos. Everything looks the same except for the fact that the fingerprint sensor has now been moved from the front of the smartphone at the back. Similar to the OnePlus 5, the company has packed an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor clocked at up to 2.45 GHz along with Adreno 540 GPU to handle graphics-intensive tasks. The secondary 20 megapixels along with aperture f/1.7, Sony IMX376K sensor, 1.0 micron pixel size and focal length of 27.22mm.

OnePlus' "Dash Charging" feature works quickly and we managed to get nearly 65 per cent juice on a single charge. OnePlus fixed the KRACK vulnerability for the OnePlus 5 earlier this month, with OxygenOS 4.5.14.

While there is no change on the battery front when compared with OnePlus 5, the device lasted an entire day on a single charge on moderate use.
